Long Way Home Lyrics

I feel that this song is speaking about Life in general although the person is using love to express this thought. We are eternally growing, aging, and all of us will (sadly) soon die. We all learn through our experiences and The "Long Way Home" is reminiscing the past experiences as the person passes by all the places where a memory has been created.. Things that could have happened, things that should have happened, and things that did happen, all of this is being said in the song. I don't think the person necessarily feels guilty about any event, but rather so more upset that the moment could not last forever. This would be a great high school graduation song.

"Nobody's home And I feel lost inside There's a clock counting down what's left of time"

Going back to saying things that could have happened, should have happened, and things that did happen, regardless, time is counting down, and we all must keep constantly moving with our lives.

"I regret tomorrow more than yesterday"

I feel that person is wishing that the memories that were created would last forever, but this is not speaking about LOVE specifically, but rather more, just having a good time.
